Best Clojure Resources

Your best best for learning Clojure is to use a mixture of free resources
combined with buying a few recommended books.

This is the list I wish I had when I was originally learning Clojure.

Clojure books

Clojure for the Brave and True is an online
book where each chapter explains a key concept of the Clojure language or
the environment for building Clojure projects. Highly recommended.

I found working through example programs while reading
Programming Clojure
to be the fastest way for me to grasp the basic Clojure syntax. It looks
even the 2nd edition of the book is out of date since it only covers
Clojure 1.3 so hopefully a third edition will be released to cover
version 1.4.

Clojure in Action by Manning Books is
also a few years out of date but still useful for learning the basic
language. If the book is revised it will definitely be one to pick up.

Clojure web resources

Learn Clojure in y minutes
provides a whirlwind tour of the Clojure language. The guide is primarily
useful when you're coming in with previous software development experience
and want to quickly grasp how the language's syntax is structured.

Videos, screencasts and presentations

The ClojureTV channel on YouTube
aggregates Clojure focused talks from conferences and meetups around the
world.

Newsletters

(def newsletter) is a free weekly roundup
of the latest Clojure articles, videos, projects, and upcoming events.
However, it looks like the newsletter has been on hiatus since the end
of October 2013, so the
archive
may be your best bet.

Clojure Gazette is another free weekly
articles collection. Likewise it appears there are no new issues since the
end of 2013 but the archive is
a great place to look for relevant Clojure content.

Those resources should help get you started. What's next?

I'm ready to learn how to code an application with a web framework.

I already built a web application. I need to know how to deploy it.

Let me start over from the Full Stack Clojure introduction.

Best Clojure Resources

Full Stack Clojure is an open book that explains
each Clojure web application stack layer and provides the
best web resources for those topics.
